FAQs

Are New Balance 373 trainers suitable for running?

The New Balance 373 trainers are primarily designed for casual, everyday wear and light activities, offering comfort and style. While durable, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports that require specialized support and cushioning.

What materials are used in the upper of these trainers?

The upper of the New Balance 373 trainers is crafted from a combination of premium suede overlays and breathable mesh panels. This blend provides both durability, a rich texture, and optimal airflow for comfort.

How do I clean my New Balance 373 trainers, especially the suede parts?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for stains. For mesh areas, a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth can be used. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat and avoid saturating the suede with water.

Do these trainers offer good arch support?

The New Balance 373 features a cushioned insole and EVA cushioning designed for everyday comfort and general support. For individuals requiring specific or high-level arch support, personal orthotic inserts can often be comfortably accommodated within the trainers.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

While the durable rubber outsole offers good grip, the suede material is not water-resistant. Exposure to heavy rain or prolonged wet conditions should be limited to prevent water damage, staining, and potential degradation of the suede. Consider a protective spray for water repellency.

What is the benefit of the antibacterial technology?

The integrated antibacterial technology in the New Balance 373 trainers helps to ensure a personalized feel and keeps your feet fresh by inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria, contributing to overall foot hygiene and comfort.

How should I ensure the best fit for my trainers?

The traditional lace-up design allows for a personalized fit. We recommend trying on the trainers and adjusting the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable feel. Ensure there's enough room in the toe box and that your heel doesn't slip excessively. Refer to your standard UK shoe size.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the traditional lace-up fastening to achieve a secure, personalized fit. Ensure laces are evenly distributed and tied firmly, but not uncomfortably tight. If the size feels fundamentally wrong, consult the sizing chart.

Suede appears dull or has minor scuffs.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently buff the affected areas. Brushing in one direction can help restore the nap of the suede and remove light marks. For deeper scuffs, a suede eraser might be beneficial.

Foot odor is present despite antibacterial technology.

Ensure you are wearing breathable socks (e.g., cotton or wool blends). Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly between wears, ideally for 24 hours. Removing the insoles and letting them dry separately can also help. Consider using a shoe deodorizer if the issue persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Lace Adjustment: Upon first wear, adjust the traditional lace-up fastening to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure laces are evenly tightened across your foot to prevent pressure points.
  2. Sizing Check: Always try on your trainers before extended wear. The New Balance 373 trainers generally follow standard UK sizing; however, individual fit preferences may vary. Ensure ample space for your toes while maintaining a secure heel lock.

Compatibility

The New Balance 373 trainers are highly versatile and compatible with a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They pair well with:

  • Jeans and t-shirts for an effortless daily look.
  • Chinos or shorts for a relaxed, stylish ensemble.
  • Casual skirts or dresses for a sporty-chic aesthetic.

They are best suited for urban environments, light walking, social gatherings, and everyday commuting.

Care Instructions

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your New Balance 373 trainers:

  • Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust. For stains, apply a suede cleaner according to its instructions and let it air dry. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can cause permanent marks.
  • Cleaning Mesh & Textile: For mesh and textile areas, use a soft cloth or brush with a mild soap (e.g., dish soap) and lukewarm water solution. Gently scrub the soiled areas. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any soap residue.
  • Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as high heat can damage materials like suede and EVA cushioning. Stuffing them with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  • Odor Control: The integrated antibacterial technology helps, but for extra freshness, remove insoles occasionally and allow trainers to air out between wears. Using shoe deodorizers can also be beneficial.
  • Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and textile footwear to repel water and stains, especially if you anticipate wearing them in varying weather conditions. Reapply as needed.
